For the second half of the 20th century, Thessaloniki was a major
center of Homer studies, known for the work of Ioannis Kakridis and
his student Dimitrios Maronitis, so the Aristotle University made an
appropriate venue for the conference in May 2010 on "Homer in the 21st
century" from which this hefty and nicely indexed volume issued.

So-called "Neoanalysis," to which Kakridis made distinctive
contributions starting in the 1930s, revolves around a single
hypothesis: that incidents narrated in Homeric epic often allude to
earlier poems (a prime example being the death of Patroklos and the
Aithiopis).
